Dairy demand is dropping – and fast. Milk consumption keeps declining
with each generation as more and more consumers moo-ve on to plant-based
milks of the future, which are free of cholesterol and cruelty.

So what’s next for the dairy industry? Well, it’s already been begging
for government bailouts, desperately attempting to squash almond milk sales,
and it even got involved in a deadly money-milking scheme: illegally
inflating dairy prices nationwide by killing 500,000 young cows.

But with so many consumers ditching dairy, the industry is left crying
over spilled milk. Literally. Except they’re spilling the milk on purpose —
in fact, they’ve wastefully dumped 43 million gallons of it, as Time
reports!

While the industry cried over milk it spilled, how many cows suffered?

From calves taken from their mothers (who sometimes bellow for their
babies for days), to “spent” cows shipped to slaughter when they can no
longer churn a profit, cows suffer horrendous cruelty in the cold world of
the dairy industry. How many suffered simply to have all this milk dumped
down the drain?

In just the past two years, dairy revenue has plummeted by 35%, due to
overproduction of milk combined with rapidly declining demand.

Time writes: “Whole milk is viewed warily by people trying to monitor
their saturated fat intake, and some producers report that even skim milk
sales are falling. In the meantime, dairy-free alternatives like almond milk
and coconut milk have been gaining ground.”

Dean Foods, the leading US dairy producer, recently attributed decreasing
demand for its dairy products in part to “greater competition from
plant-based milk substitutes,” as VegNews shares.

The massive demand for plant-based milk and more has not gone unnoticed
by major chains that dish out dairy. From Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, to
Ben & Jerry’s and TCBY, dairy-free menu options are being added to please
the crowd.

With so many options available in stores and eateries, ditching dairy is
easier than ever before! We can help you get started at TryVeg.com.
